</div>Also seems to be fairly standard practice to ignore these requests. I<br>
have come to the conclusion that many people have no idea what you are<br>
talking about.<br>
<br>
Authors will spend days preparing their article in Word, fancy fonts<br>
and underlining etc, only to be bitterly disappointed that the editor<br>
strips this formatting away. (I WILL NEVER WRITE ANOTHER THING FOR<br>
YOU!! BOOM BOOM!!)<br></blockquote><div><br>If only the author would have asked on the first place... "what do you need?" <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Copy and Paste is one of the best weapons in the arsenal.<br></blockquote><div><br>I would simply take away the word "best" from this sentence! :)<br><br>People use cut/paste, yes. Is this the way to go... mostly depends on the skills at both ends of the chain...<br>

I was actually surprised by this thread as I don't think I have seen a<br>
publisher file for probably 8 or so years.</blockquote><div><br>Well... it happens ! The ocean is big. There are lots of fishes, at all depths!<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I wonder if places like Windows Live will take and display and maybe convert .pub files.<br>
Google Docs may do something similar<br>
